He traveled to South Africa in the latter years of apartheid to report on events there. From 1989 to 1990, he was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. In 1991, Harwood joined the Wall Street Journal as a White House correspondent, covering the George H. W. Bush administration. He went on to become a Capitol Hill journalist and, in 1997, the newspaper’s political editor and chief political correspondent. In March 2006, Harwood was named chief Washington reporter for CNBC. Harwood has been on NBC’s Meet the Press and MSNBC’s Morning Joe, as well as Washington Week, a current affairs show on PBS that was previously hosted by Gwen Ifill. Tim Russert’s last filmed interview for his MSNBC namesake interview program, which was to broadcast the weekend of June 14, 2008, only hours before Russert’s death, included him and co-author Gerald Seib.
On October 28, 2015, Harwood served as a moderator for CNBC’s Republican primary presidential debate. Harwood’s performance as moderator was panned by both the debate contestants and the media. After John Podesta, the then-chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, had his personal email account hacked and the contents published by the website Wikileaks in October and November 2016, Harwood faced even more criticism. Several emails from Harwood, including one from May 2015 in which Harwood told Podesta that then-candidate Ben Carson might cause “serious difficulty” for the Clinton campaign, were among the emails that some critics argued suggested an inappropriate degree of intimacy or cooperation between the two. Harwood also asked Podesta the questions he should ask Republican contender Jeb Bush during a debate, according to the emails. Harwood drew scrutiny from conservative critics on February 6, 2020, when he claimed that President Donald Trump was in “deep psychological distress” following his press conference after the U.S. Senate voted to acquit him on both articles of impeachment.
